Hooker mentions a fruitless wait in a tree for a tiger in February 1848.(Himalayan journals 1(1854)37:57)

Removed this from the article, as I thought this does not belong there. prashanthns (talk) 12:52, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Nationality edit

Sorry, not sure how this works, but William Theobald was my great grandfather, he was not an american. We are not exactly sure -- but his family was from germany at some point. I would be interested in contacting anyone with information/research on my ancestor -- and happy to share what we know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.151.45.112 (talkcontribs) 05:22 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I have removed "which may indicate that he was American in origin" for which there was no source. We can only use "what you know" if it is backed by reliable sources, but his family may be in a better position to find reliable sources. By all post on this talk page if you find anything which may help. Please sign your posts by adding ~~~~ at the end, which adds user signature and time.
